The actual name is "Citizens United," but "Citizens Ignited (and Burning Up Fast)" describes it much better.
This egg smells like something dead that has been ripening in the back of your garage since Christmas.
In short, Citizens Ignited (and Burning Up Fast) gives Gazillionaires unbridled power to go to the store and buy a politician -- or usually a whole egg carton full (cheaper by the dozen, and Gazillionaires love to save money, which is partly why they are Gazillionaires).
So now, unless you are Gary Lee Gazillionaire, you really have no vote, and no say about anything anymore.
Hate the way climate change is melting the ice caps and
blitzing the polar bears? Too bad;
gazillionaires get tickled pink when they can pollute.
Hate the way all the stuff you buy causes you to die of
cancer? Too bad; Gazillionaires just adore selling you all that stuff.
Hate the way the whole earth might catch fire because Gazillionaires love to spit their carbon out into the air? Too bad; you can’t do a darn thing about it.
Or can you?
Here’s what you can do to help: Read up on these Super Heroes, tell
your friends, explain Citizens Ignited to your brain-challenged cousin Cuddle
Pie, and your brain-addled Uncle Adolph.
Call your Congress person and promise to come personally and
spit in her eye if she does not vote for the “Constitutional amendment to
overturn Citizens United.”
It’s also known as “The Democracy for All Amendment.”
P.S. Did you know “The Pentagon describes global warming as a top national security threat, yet the [gazillionaire] Koch brothers and their billionaires club have spent a fortune to help deny its existence”?
